The MA in Innovation in Practice featured in NCUB report

The MA in Innovation in Practice at Goldsmiths Design, whose programme leader is Mike Waller, is the subject of a case study in the first annual “State of the Relationship” report of collaboration between universities and businesses, released by the National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB).

“The MA Innovation in Practice and the Post Graduate Innovation Apprenticeships both offer unique ways of leveraging university teaching expertise, innovation, and a hands-on approach to collaboration and consultancy”, is the conclusion of the article, which you can read in full at page 26 of the report.

Design postgrads, get involved in the MA Show

The purpose of the graduating show is to celebrate the work of the students, so get involved in organising the MA Show you’d like to have! If you are a postgraduate Design student (MA in Critical Practice, Design and Environment, Design Futures, Design: Interaction Research, Fashion, MRes in Design, Innovation in Practice, Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship, Design Education, PGCE Design and Technology, Graduate Diploma in Design), the team that have already started on the job are calling you to join them:

“If you’re worried that your course has no practical output or that the output isn’t something you’d typically see in an exhibition: There will be space for talks, lectures, seminars, workshops, interactive installations, live art, performances and catwalks, should there be suitable interest shown in these types of events.

Our next meeting will be held in the middle MA Design Studio on Tuesday the 18th of March at 1PM (midday). Anyone is welcome.

If you want to be kept up-to-date with meeting minutes and agendas as well as any news, changes in meeting times and any other information related to the show, please sign up to this mailing list.”

And there are even more avenues available for involvement and collaboration: there are surveys open for you to give your opinion on the show’s organisation, venue and name; you can also join this open group on Facebook for suggestions and debate.
